Tresco Abbey Gardens are located on the island of Tresco in the Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom. The 17-acre (7 ha) gardens were established by the nineteenth-century proprietor of the islands, Augustus Smith, originally as a private garden within the grounds of the home he designed and built. The gardens are designated at Grade I in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
